pour forth their volleys on this same day
OF August when the siege was raised, and
on certain day in December when the

we left the Maiden city Of Ireland; Maid

The Tree Dealer.

A new building is sign the travelling
tree dealer does not fail to note; here he
expects to do some of his best work.
With commendable diligence he seeks
the owner and makes his acquaintance.
His knowledge of trees and plants, and
his ability to give information in regard
to them is often surprising. Now, we
have hesitation in saying, do not take
counsel with this man. Nine times out of
ten he cannot properly give you advice.
Ii you know what you want it may possi-
bly, be to your advantage to purchase Of
him, but do not look to him to inform
you what to purchase. Neither should
you give an order to one of these travel
ing men unless you have the best of proof
that he is recognized agent of respon-
sible house. The preferable way is to
consult and order from a well-known
firm that has reputation to maintain.
You will find that you can get reliable
advice and information from such firm,
if you choose to consult them by letter,
and usually you can make purchases
from them directly much more advanta-
geously than in any other way.-Vicks

The Curculio.

In answer to the question, Does the
curcuiio come from the ground in the
spring, We must admit that good authori-
ties differ, but the majority seem to IA
vor the theory that the curculio remains
In the ground all winter, and comes forth
IN the spring prepared to do it's work.
We have taken the larvae found in
warts growing on plum trees, and put
them In earth under bell glass, and in
three weeks they have come forth perfect
curculios. Ii it is true that the larvae that
are found in the fruit and fall with it to
the ground, which, without doubt, they
enter, become perfect insects in three or
four weeks, and emerge, then it is not
generally known where they remain in
winter. Some Of them may no one thing
and some another, the later ones remain.
ing in the ground The fact remains
however, that they are generally on hand
as soon as the plums have set and attain
ed the size of peas, ready to do their
work.
1t seems reasonable to believe that
mosquito netting put over the trees as
soon as they are out of bloom, and kept
there three or four weeks, ought to pre-
vent the insect from getting at the fruit.
The experiment is worth trying. We do
not know what the effect will be upon the
tree, fruit and foliage, but see no reason
why it should injure either.

There are many dandelions; that which

liz his speech before the German
Reichstsg on Tuesday last, Bismarck
threatened that if that body failed to
register his DEGREES by passing the
military bill he would dissolve it. He
said: at is quite impossible to make
a parliamentary army out Of an im-
perial army. We do not intend to let
the defense of Germany depend each
time on the vote of Parliament, and il
you do not enable us, by passing this
bill quickly and intact, to increase the
army to suit what we consider neces-
sary for the security OF the country,
we shall prefer to continue the dibcus-
sion with another Reichstag. We
shall no longer submit to long dis
cussion. We must have certainty.
You will either pass the bill or we
shall be obliged to turn to others
who will give rs this certainty"
The Rsichstsg yesterday, despite this
threat, refused to pass the military
bill, and the Chancellor at once arose
and read an Imperial decree dissolv'
ing that BODY. 1t is thus evident that
the only difference between the au
tocracy OF Russia and that Of Germany
is that in the latter country it is tenn

NASHVILLE, TENN, January 14.-At
sos o'clock pm. the caucus was
called to order by Mr.. Fort. Mr..
Whitthorne occupied the stand and
ga d: "Gentlemen-My brother, W.
@. Whitthorne, telegraphed me to re-
turn to you his most profound thanks
for the honor you conferred upon him
yesterday, aud to say that in the fonr
years yet emaining for him he will
endeavor to merit the kind feelings
you have exhibited for him." Ap-
plause.
The roll was called.
Mr.. Callicott, in answering to his
name, said he had been one of those
who opposed caucus unless he saw a
necessity for it. He yet saw no neces-
sty for it, but when he saw the DEM
ocrats in sold phalanx he answered
"here," fully equipped and ready for
business befors the caucus.
Mr.. Hall said the people OF his
county, in the convention which nom
mated him, when q caucus resolution
was pressed fer the purpose OF having
the members pledged TO caucus, voted
it down, and for that reason he was
not tor caucus until he saw it was a
necessity.
The following answered to their
names, and were marked "p!esent."
